Memphis Pizza Guide: Local chains and by-the-slice counters
In the first of our three Memphis Pizza Guides, we focused on locally owned “pizza parlors,” pizza-first Memphis places with only one or two locations.
But Memphis boasts some highly successful pizza chains, with Exlines’, Garibaldi’s and Memphis Pizza Cafe, for instance, spreading across both the metro area and the decades.
In this guide, we tip our caps to the chains, including a few that didn’t originate locally, while also stopping for a slice (or two) at some of the New York-style pizza counters around town.
